  • It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song
    You can't believe it
    You were always singing along
    It was so easy and the words so sweet
    You can't remember
    You try to feel the beat

    Eet, eet, eet, eet
    Eet, eet, eet, eet

    You spent half of your life trying to fall behind
    You're using your headphones to drown out your mind
    It was so easy, and the words so sweet
    You can't remember
    You try to move your feet
    Eet, eet, eet, eet
    Eet, eet, eet, eet

    Someone's deciding whether or not to steal
    He opens the window just to feel the chill
    He hears that outside a small boy just starting to cry
    'Cause it's his turn but his brother won't let him try

    It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song
    You can't believe it
    You were always singing along
    It was so easy and the words so sweet
    You can't remember
    You try to move your feet

    It was so easy and the words so sweet
    You can't remember, you try to feel the beat Writer/s: Regina Spektor

  • Alina from Dallas, TxWhen people still used typewriters the "backspace" button was called eet. The eet button did not erase the mistake, rather it went back to the spot that the letter occupied and allowed you to type another letter over the previous one.
    This song is about wishing that there was a eet button for life
  • Mikki from Pine Bluff, ArThis song is so peaceful and has a child like feel. It brings me warmth and I just love it ! ~It'x Mikki Kid~
